It is difficult to even begin to deduce the intended function of the tone control push-pull pot without a clearer view of its contacts and some information about where the red and black insulated wires used to be connected before they were cruelly chopped.

If the Bridge and Neck position pickups were RPRW, by definition, the middle pickup will be in the wrong relationship with one of the other pickups. If this is the case, it would make sense for the tone control push-pull pot to be phase reversal.
If the phase and magnetic polarity relationships are correct, then, the tone control push-pull pot might govern whether the middle pickup is added in series or in parallel with the other two pickups.
The third possibility was a Kill/Mute switch but the output conductors do not connect to the tone pot switch terminals.

@Funkfingers - it had three normal single coils but I don't remember what the push pull did!
@TheGuitarWeasel - I want three pups (as below)
Ideally, I want to get the usual Tele sounds (I've got a Bareknuckle Boss and a Dimarzio neck to go in) plus just the middle pickup as and when! Can I do that with a 3 way switch and a push-pull? If so, where would I get a wiring diagram? Could the push-pull be wired to take the Tele pickups out and just have the middle? I don't want the 'in between' Strat sounds.
I'm thinking this:
Switch position 1 / push-pull not engaged - just neck pup
Switch position 2 / push-pull not engaged - neck and bridge pup
Switch position 3 / push-pull not engaged - just just bridge pup
All switch positions / push-pull engaged - just middle pup
Is this a dumb idea? Any other suggestions? I want classic Tele sounds but I do love me Strat middle!
